Research on Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring Based on Random Forest Algorithm

It is of great significance for load monitoring to monitor illegal use of electricity. Load monitoring can provide supervision for government and improve residents' awareness of safety. Compared with the intrusive load monitoring, non-intrusive load monitoring has the advantages of good economy, high reliability, and quickly realizing the electricity decomposition. Many scholars have carried out this research, but there still exists the problems: it is difficult to obtain key information from big data and the diagnostic results are inaccuracy. Therefore, load monitoring is conducted in this paper. To overcome the above shortcomings, firstly this paper obtains key information of sample based on harmonic analysis. Secondly, random forest based on multiple decision trees has better accuracy in recognition. So the random forest algorithm is applied to machine learning and pattern recognition. Finally, the proposed method is identified and analyzed. The results show that the accuracy of the online electrical detection based on the harmonic analysis and random forest algorithm is greater than 86%, which shows the effectiveness of the method.
